Pink Floyd reunion

I think it's worth repeating at a stretch they might get 30 mins and 20 mins is more likely at this show so a DVD?

Barrett was Floyd at the start but I see Gilmour/Waters Floyd as basically a different band.

I agree with Ben_campbell. Floyd with or without Barrett is alot like a hotdog with mustard or a hotdog with mayo; two different hotdogs, altogether......"TWO DIFFERENT HOTDOGS." Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I don't understand what the fuss is all about. They've agreed to play a few old songs live for a day, that's it. No mention of recording new materials from anyone, yet. Nor do I see them recording together anytime soon. For one thing, Waters is not going to record anything for the sake of Pink Floyd at this stage of his life. I also don't see Gilmour being content with just playing guitar on an album like Clapton and Beck.

As much as I like to believe that Bob Geldof brought all this together, I'd think that the recent death of Floyd manager Steve O'Rourke made this re-union a lot easier, for Waters had unresolved issues, business and personal, with O'Rourke.

And yes, Wright never gets much credit for his work, i.e, when he did or was allowed to put in some work. Ever wondered how pink those early Floyd albums (befor Animals) would have been without Wright, or what he might have added to Amused to Death?

A rekindled interest in a tour would be fantastic! I only saw them twice, post Sid and with RW. The first time was at the release of DSOTM, at the Irvine Auditorium in Philadelphia, a round auditorium purpose built in the 20's to house a pipe organ, seating is about 1,100 I believe. The second set that night was DSOTM, a very memorable and colorful evening it was...

Lets not discount the efforts that Gilmour has invested in trying to get the band back together. He said in an interview that he would like to continue recording with Waters and in another interview Waters stated he was not willing to talk to anyone in the band nor the interviewer about the indifference. If you listen to the words on the Divison Bell and under stand the concept of the Division Bell I feel it is very clear that Gilmour has approached Waters and as he puts it "Kindley told to go f- myself"
But hopefully they will work things out. The Eagles did after all acknowledge that "Hell Froze over"
